“Experience with doctor was good. Not so much with assistant. I asked a question and he just answered by saying he couldn’t answer but didn’t even attempt to find answer for me or ask the doctor. ”
Hugo S.March 23, 2026
“This was my second visit but I don’t feel like I received anything that helped my bone pain from my bunion but we did trial and error with a boot and stronger anti-inflammatory but it has nothing to do with their office or her that it didn’t help. I have a few weeks before surgery and look forward to it. ”

I was able to get an appointment right away. From the front desk person to the staff in the back, everyone was pleasant and kind. Dr. Beach made it feel like we'd known each other for a long time.

Everyone was awesome the Dr was young very knowledgeable friendly and didn't rush, answered all of my questions she gets ***** the office was clean modern .
The self service do your own on our tablet fill in information was way to much not great.Anyone over 75 should be offered option of personal help without the tablet. All and all I was very happy and will return for regular treatment.

Front office ladies are pretty and kind. Cara was very knowledgeable. She provided all the benefits that I can do for my foot. She definitely knows what she’s doing. And she cares. She really does.
June 4, 2025Janice B.Verified patient
I came in with a problem on my toe - my toenail stopped growing after an injury, and there was a bump on the tip of my toe. The doctor immediately suggested removing the nail without taking any X-rays or trying to find out the cause. Only after I insisted on an X-ray was it discovered that I have a malunited fracture causing the bone growth. This approach felt superficial and unprofessional. I hope the clinic improves their diagnostic process and doesn't rush to suggest drastic measures without proper explanation.

Excellent no-nonsense efficient and informative visit with Dr. Beach for my foot issue. She helped me walk through the treatment options, no pun intended, and I left very happy with the result and my foot feeling better!
May 23, 2025Thomas P.Verified patient
Dr. Beach was very friendly, listened to my history, and effectively treated my problem. Take it from a retired physician and surgeon, she's great!
